Hair Loss treatment?

[verisio]

Hey bros,

I know this is hardly the adult discussion about sex topic. But I suppose healthy hair growth would help in our confidence with women. So I want to know if any guys have successfully used any of those Trichologist services (like Svenson, Beijing101, yunnam hair care etc).

I'm starting to have this thinning patch at the back of my head. Actually appeared few years back but it's been slowly growing bigger so I think i better tackle the problem first before it gets worse.

I've never used such trichologist services before so would like to hear the opinions of any bros who have done this before. The more interesting thing is i'm only in my mid twenties, and i'm pretty sure I dun have male pattern hair loss which is the 'receding hairline' type of problem.

thanks

[fatty_leo]

Erm bro, if their methods or products work so good do you think they still need to spend so much $ to advertise? Save you $ for bonking better;)

Eg: Viagra don't need much advertisement to be so popular:D

[konthai]

I had similar problem, went to a clinic that specialized in skin and hair loss.
I wasn't convinced I had that problem until being forced by my GF to get help.
Male pattern hair loss can happen to anyone and age group.

Get it diagnosed and the doc can give his/her advice .... consultation is cheap but the medication and hair care product may costs quite a bit....

do something before it gets too late .....

[thunderrr]

try this brand foltene available in guardian, quite expensive for the treatment but results not bad :)

[humpcheepang]

(like Svenson, Beijing101, yunnam hair care etc)....
thanks


From what I knew, such places charge packages ranges from a couple of hundreds to about S$3K or more, and result varies. Real good? Hmmmm....let's hear more from other bros. Maybe you can go but start off with a simple one and not signing up big package.

[S T I]

Ya, must hv a real person success story else, cannot really trust adverts ..

I had tried consultation when they were having some promotional package. Be forewarned. They are hard selling, aggressive. Worst than insurance salesmen. The package depends on how many treatment you required or how serious yr hair-loss. The price of the package is like $1,500 to $3,000. They have those computer technology software to show u all yr problems area, plus introducing the products u need like pills to take, shampoo, conditioner, exterior medication that smell like ginseng etc. The are really very hard sell & aggressive. The consultant are very well train with sales objections. They had every answer to yr objection. From one consultant they brought in another 2 senior consultant to handle me. I was grilled for almost 90 minutes till they finally give up. I had tried Yun Nam. Unless u r really serious for treatment & have deep pocket, OTW be prepared to be grilled. They just wanted u to sign a package. Whether it is effective, that is another Q. If not effective, I believe the company would have close shop years ago. It is a matter how u evaluate the "Value for money" issues. Good luck to you guys. :D :rolleyes:

[Brother...Bob]

Bro...

go and see your doctor ..... you are probably suffered from the usual men's hait loss problem.

He would probably introduce you to PROPECIA ... a kind of drug that can slow down male patern hair loss .... everyday 1 pills .... monthly damage about $90+, and you have to take it long term, once stop taking for 12 months you will go back to original baldness.

For me it does help .... you can check it out.

Brother...Bob, I think you are right abt it. Such drugs are very expensive one.... My friend took it, do have some progress in due time, but suffer from low sperm count. In the end, he decided to stop after the second month.

Threadstarter, Don't try those Trichologist services lah.... One of my friend spent about 4K in Yunam, can't even grow a single hair. They give empty promises one. You should make a visit to Singapore Skin Center for an assessment first. If there's a chance to reinstate some hair growth, the doctors will help one, if your hair roots are completely gone, tell me how those centres can help??? :cool:

Absolutely. Potential clients must always read the fine print, always got disclaimer one...hair loss, like acne problems are medical - cannot be treated by cosmetic centers - slap on some mudpack, massage bits of seaweed onto the scalp, how to grow hair :)

Bros,
I heard of sexual active men tend to loss hairs more than others, does sex really plays a part in hair growth ?
Some claim body weak also can cause hair loss, like weak Kidney or heart, how true ?
one doctor ever recommend someform of solution, Regainne or Regrowth...can't really recall...:confused:

[yeeeha]

I've seen GP regarding hairloss b4, was given the choice of pills or some spray. Was forewarned that pill may cause temp ED so opted for the spray. The spray is 5% minoxidile or something like that lah. Regain and Growell carry this spray and is available from local pharmacy. Needs about 4-6 mths to see the effect. Side effect for me was dandruff, itchy scalp and rashes on the body. An indication of allergic reaction. so after 6 mths I stop using.

Ray06, trust me.... if you are stressed over a period of time, due to whatever reasons..... your hair will start to thin, and suffer from temporary hair-loss, or Alopecia Areata if you called it.

This is a form of hair loss from areas of the body, usually from the scalp. I suffered from it, it can be a 20 cents big bald spot, or even several 50 cents big on your head. This really can shot your stress level to maximum high, because it can be quite unattractive to look at. And you will start to get panic and buy whatever hair tonic that your hairdresser recommends. All these so-called tonics are bullshit. All you just need to do is to consult a doctor from Skin Center, 1-2 shots of steroids onto your affected area, and you will experience some growth within 2 months.

Constant exercise and control diet will help to maintain your overall well-being. :)

[pokeman71]

PROPACIA is what i am taking. It help to control hair loss. Not cheap. 30tablet at 95dollar. Eat everyday.

[Peter]

My hair-stylist told me.....to prevent less hair-loss, avoid washing hairs with hot/warm water, just normal tap flown water is good enough.

[Rw6828]

Another precaution, try as much as possible, not to apply anything on the hair.....leave it natural, as clean as possible.

Bros,

That "Propecia" is effective for top area but not for reclining U-shape.
I tried it before but stop due to cost & side-effect - reduce sexual desire.:mad:
I buy from Thailand at about BHT 1900/box, one box/mth.
I get the results after 5-6 mth of taking.
But once you stopped taking, you get the problem back.
It's act by control the type of hormones that causes hair dropping.

Alternatively, you can try natural treatments, do refer to site as below.

Very interesting massage nail and natural method.
If you had GF/Wife, ask them to help you.

Do not go to Yun Nam or any bull-shit doctor.
They suck you dry!
:cool:

Yes, i agree with what this brother had said. I was worried for my hairloss and i responded to their advertisement. (Yun Nam). I was inivted to a so called free trial but ended up cornered into signing up a $1500 package. They even insisted on a $5K plus package but i refused to take it. Now i am into my 6th (out of 10 sessions) but still never see any result. Really regretted as besides the $1500, they also forced you to buy their shampoo, hair growth tonic...e.tc... which are all expensive products. :(

[verisio]

bros... thank you all for your sharing. I have decided to fix an appointment with Skin Centre and see what the problem really is. At least from there, I can further evaluate my options and proceed accordingly.

I'm pretty sure I dun have male pattern hair loss (which is characterised by the thinning hairline). I believe mine's another kind which I read online. Just the back of my head is thinning more. I don't smoke, drink once in a while.. exercise pretty much, eat a balanced diet and dun have too stressful a life and am only in my mid twenties. That's why I'm shocked by this. But i know this male balding thing can hit anyone.. sheesh.. :P

[Mr Jaded]

Bro, you have a few options at this point.

You can take propecia (as recommended by some of the bros here) daily, as well as use minoxidil topical solution 5% twice a day. However, to save money, you can ask your doctor to prescribe proscar for you. Proscar contains the same active ingredient as propecia but you can split the tablet into 4 and take each quarter per day. Dosage will be higher at 1.25 mg instead of Propecia's 1 mg but side effects should be minimal. Its much cheaper as this will work out to about $30 only per month.

[goenitz]

Hmm minoxidil! Sounds very familiar, now that i remember, I know a friend who is selling Generic Minoxidil for less than half the price compared to Regaine that is sold off the shelf in pharmacy which cost around $50 for a bottle? I heard him mentioning that he sells 3 bottles of Generic Regaine cost only $55 or $57 something like that... :confused:

Brothers who are facing hair loss problem but is throwing lotsa $$$ to doctors here can PM me, maybe i can give you his email or contact number and you can ask him personally... But that was like a year back already, don't know if he is still selling it or not... :p

Bro,

Where do you buy this ?
any known side effects ?

My hair is thinning too, and fore head higher and higher :(

[noel2046]

proscar has the ingredient as propecia and is cheaper. The only problem is that it comes in 5mg tablet while propecia's dosage is 1mg. You'll have to break it up in 5 portions.

Used to buy these cheaper in JB.

Well going from the more eco ways is consult your GP otherwise these consultant will really sucks u vit$$$$

As for Yun Nam, the consultant get's basis Salary with comm, which explains their approach. BJ101 is such that the consultant get much higher paid with quarterly profit sharing.

I am currently with a 12 months on-going packages. I can now see my tiny-hairs growth near comfortable level, and all these is not cheap as depends on how u look at it. (In between there also have hidden cost) which I also give my consultant a dressing down, as I told them I dun mind pay fully-upfront, and no BS to me. Anyway already slaughter no points say much,
Pricing range can be from min. 3K, 6K, 9K, 12K.
(Excludes all others like supplementary pills, changes of medication .... they will also entice you knowing you wan instant result for more products.)

So I told them I dun mind the slow result, as long as what you gurantee to me and I follow up, I dun mind. but who care's. I am there mainly for my front hairloss and the consultant's. just to make it simple .... it's just lady luck. :D

The outlet I visit had about 20 Consultant, only a handfews are rate 7/10 above other avrg, mostly CMI ..... so far dated 02 gals. .... :p
(I do find that they are much easier to be-friend than those HFJ singer's)
Will not say much, that's all folks.

For MPB, it's better to start early to retain and save more hair. What Trichologist says about hairloss caused by oily scalp is all nonsence and wearing cap will cause hair loss is also a myth. MPB is caused by excessive DHT.

Try the 3 Bigs: 1mg Finasteride/Proscar/Propecia, Minoxidil & Nizoral Shampoo.
(Finasteride and Minoxidil are both proven and only products that approved by FDA for hair growth. Nizoral reduces DHT in the scalp.)

3 bigs are proven regimen by many users who suffer from MPB but must have patient for result to be seen from as earlier as 2 months to 24 months but once stopped all gain will be lost within 6 to 12 months.

My regimen now (Just started 1 month):

Oral
Fincar (Generic Finasteride) - 5mg break into 4 and take one daily (one year supply of 90 pills for S$120)

Tropical
5% Generic minoxidil in the morning and 15% minoxidil in the night - ($30 per month)

Nizoral shampoo which contains Ketaconazole 2% - use alternative days ($10 per month)

Liquid Retin-A - Use nightly for better absorption of Minoxidil ($10 per month)

[Tigers3]

hi bro can try this, . I have try yunam they will cost you around $4000 to $5000 which nv work. You can try beechoohair cost you $25 per treatment, they will not ask u to sign up for any package. My hair seen to be stop droping after the 1st treatment:) hope this help.

[monstar]

Hair lost problem...probably u will wan to check with the doctor if it is man hair lost symtom or cause by some other thingy...if it is hair lost symtom for man i would say all we can do if keep it under control so u will need to take your medication or go for your treatment forever lolx or at least till a point when u think u dont need much hair le... =X

my hair lost problem start after army and I have been goign for hair treatment for like 1-2years le all i can say it as long as it keep the hair lost from getting worst i am more than satisfy le i dont expect it to make my hair to be back like it was before i go for army la... but is defintely very very expensive to maintain lor and they will keep ask u to add on thingy....whenthe package price is already abt 5-6k for half a year but u still need to add maybe 2-4k worth of product during your treatment but i feel worth it la cause i see my hair not getting worst n maintaining ....BTW i am mid 20 only...

there is also another thing u can take palmatto also can be taken for hair lost kinda and is also quite cheap as compare... propecia i personally dont like tt as there is some side effect... but IF your hair lost is already in the very JIALAT state hor...i think u can consider hair implant la...IS cheaper den paying for treatement when i do the calculation lor...if i am not wrong is $1 per strand hair... but consider how much i pay for treatment le I think if i do implant i can even implant hair over my whole face =X

[Arucard]

Any bro can share how to book a appointment with Skin Centre n how to get there listen to so many ppl story i getting my hair scaple a check

[sammyboyfor]

There's only ONE permanent fix for hair loss and that's a hair transplant. :rolleyes:

Same experience here. I advise a cheaper and more effective route:

1. You see a Traditional Chinese Doctor. He will tell you your problems and prescribe some medication for you to clean your internal body.

2. You go for some 5 sessions at these saloons to clean your scalp.

3. Then with 1 and 2, you have clean scalp and clean body. Ready for hair grafting.

Was on 6 mths treatment with Yun Nam. Initially was ok. Anyway stopped treatment past 7mths. But hair still dropping/thining. Tere goes my 6K package! :mad:

Btw bro, wheres tis beechoohair?

[CityOfAngels]

Thanks to the brudder who up my points:).

Proscar/Propecia/Fin and Minoxidil are effective for MPB only, for sudden loss of hair or patchy hair loss it could be due to stress or infection.

Below is the chart on the effect of Fin and Minoxidil in treating MPB.

[CityOfAngels]

After 3 weeks of using Minoxidil, I start to experience shredding which is normal and prove that it's working as those hairs in telogen phase start to be replaced by new growth.

Hi Bro City of Angels,
I know the oral tablets have to be prescribed by a doctor, but regardng minoxidil and nizoral shampoo, can they be bought over the counter at a pharmacy?

[BncmI]

Hi Bro City of Angels,
I know the oral tablets have to be prescribed by a doctor, but regardng minoxidil and nizoral shampoo, can they be bought over the counter at a pharmacy?

Minoxidil have to bought from those pharmacy. Rogaine is the "original" brand, there are cheaper generic version like Kirkland which can be bought online.

[goenitz]

hi,

I know of a friend who have minoxidil 5% for men. PM me if you interested!

Hi Bro City of Angels,

[NorthGuy]

My suggestion is to go to National skin centre (NSC). Get a referral through a polyclinic as it would be cheaper that way. But referral waiting time is longer than a walk-in.

They will do check on you like blood test etc... to determine the problem. Hair loss can also be due to lack of protein or certain minerals.

From my experience and understanding, sprays and all the pills, they are long term treatments process and once you stop the process, you lose the hair you have grown again. So it basically back to square 1.

[virginboy]

I started noticing hair thinning when I was in my late 20s. Started using Minoxidil 5%, twice a day, purchase from the internet. I regained my hair completely. After 5-6 years on minoxidil, started hair thinning again. Still on Minoxidil to slow down my hair loss process. Now waiting for the next miracle to happen Follica | About Follica (http://www.follicabio.com/) Should be available in the next 1-2 years.

[CityOfAngels]

Hi Bro City of Angels,
I know the oral tablets have to be prescribed by a doctor, but regardng minoxidil and nizoral shampoo, can they be bought over the counter at a pharmacy?

I bought my generic fin 5mg which is name under fincar online which is so much cheaper than local prescription, otherwise I would not have afford the life long oral treatment.

For generic minoxidil (3 mths supply at $55) or rogaine can be bought from sg ebay.

I heard Nizoral shampoo contains Ketaconazole 1% can be bought over the counter but if contains ketaconazole 2% needs prescription. I bought my 2% online. Ketaconazole is very effective in treating danduff also.

From what I read, minoxidil promotes fast hair growth for 2 years only after that it only maintain the growth and prolong its anagen phase. Thus, must combine with fin for long term effect.

Samy Boss, I don't think they can be permanent, have view some documentry and as advice they say must first test the patient condition and see it accept or not, usually it is okay as they come from the same roots.
anyway that documentry was many years back, should have made much improvement by now.

Came across this thread so revive it by updating my status.

Been faithful with above regimen for two years. Result seen as early as fourth month and above 90% hair grown after nine months of usage and maintain it till now.

The consultant was a babe...I went over there cux got some discount vouchers that I bought at the road show...but the babe became a monster when I didn't want to sign up on the spot...her face turned black and took away the rest of the discount vouchers from me saying that it is only valid for one visit and if I don't sign up, the rest of the vouchers become useless! What rubbish....anyway I can't be bothered to argue and left that God forsaken place....wat a bitch...but a pretty bitch though :p
